No, sorry.

Bye.

 

 

 

 

 

:P Just kidding. I really don't know what any of that is. I bet if you poked around the net, you could get a description of those terms and maybe the numbers significance? Still curious what he meant by she "had" it. I wonder why my DAN doc never suggested candida testing for my son, I know I asked about it in the beginning. It seems alot of you are having this done.

Maryann,

You may hv found this out already, but I got this from the Bio-Center labs site where you order the test. Was it from there? I seems the name you mentioned. It stated this:

 

IgM antibodies indicate a "present" infection.

 

IgG antibodies indicate a "past" (or present) infection.

 

IgA antibodies indicate mucosal infection.

 

 

So the IgG being a little high according to the reference range indicates candida in the past?

we have found that once there has been a candida infection, one has to be vigilent about future overgrowth

 

candida lives in all of us, but our "good" bacteria in the gut keep it under control. if something causes the balance to change (eg antibiotic, poor diet, other infections etc) the candida can begin to multiply again
